Frequently Asked Questions

What does an international company need to consider before expanding to the U.S.?

If your business is thinking about establishing a U.S. presence, there are a few matters you should consider before making the transition:

  • Deciding on the Right Business Structure: There are two main ways to establish a foreign business in the U.S.—either as a subsidiary or a branch office. A subsidiary would be a separate legal entity from the foreign parent company and might be a better option if you’re looking to establish a long-term presence in the U.S. A branch office is an extension of your foreign parent company and is easier to set up, but offers less separation.
  • Workforce Mobilization and Hiring: You’ll either be moving foreign employees into the U.S. or hiring domestic employees. It’s important to understand all regulations on global workforce mobilization and domestic hiring, including visa authorizations, payroll and taxes, labor and employment regulations, and benefits packages.
  • Other Tax Obligations: On top of payroll taxes, U.S. companies are also subject to federal income tax, state income tax, and, depending on the nature of the business, state sales and use tax. Make sure you’re aware of all the tax obligations that your business might be subject to.
